I will professionally edit cinematic documentary videos


About this gig
My name is Saad Abid, and I bring three-plus years of hands-on editing experience to every project I take on.
Over that time, I've worked with YouTube creators, small production teams, and businesses who had real footage and a real story, but needed someone to shape it into something people actually want to watch.
Tools I work in: Premiere Pro (Pr), After Effects (Ae), CapCut, and Photoshop (Ps).
My job isn't just trimming clips together; it's finding the narrative buried inside your raw material and building a finished piece around it.
What I Actually Do
Story structuring: organizing your material into a clear arc, not just filming order
Precise, seamless cuts, transitions, ns and trims that never feel rushed or choppy
Color grading: a consistent, cinematic look across every clip
Sound design: clean dialogue, balanced music, subtle effects
Captions and subtitles accurate, well-timed, on-brand
Motion graphics and titles: lower thirds, chapter cards, simple animation
Let's Build Something Worth Watching
If you have a story worth telling and footage that needs the right hands to shape it, I'd love to help bring it together
Thank You!
Please contact me before placing the order

FAQ
1. How do I know if this Gig is right for my project?
If you have real footage — interviews, B-roll, archival clips — and a story you want told well, you're in the right place. I specialize specifically in documentary and story-driven editing, not quick generic cuts, so you're working with someone who understands pacing, structure, and narrative rather
2. What footage should I send you?
Send everything relevant: raw clips, interviews, B-roll, any existing script or outline, and voiceover if you have it. The more context you give me about the story you're trying to tell, the stronger the first draft will be.
3. How many revisions do I get?
Basic includes 2 revision, Standard includes 5, and Premium includes Unlimited. If you need extra rounds beyond that, I'm happy to accommodate them for a small additional fee.
4. What file formats do you accept?
Most common formats work fine, including MP4, MOV, and AVI. If your footage is in something less common, message me before ordering and I'll confirm I can work with it.
5. What if my project doesn't fit neatly into one of the three packages?
No problem — message me with details about your footage and vision, and I'll put together a custom offer that actually matches your project's scope instead of forcing it into a package that doesn't fit.
